It depends on the rest of the sentence. Take out the words "Jimmy and I" and say the sentence using both 'me' and 'I'. Which makes sense?

For example, let's say the sentence is, "Jimmy and I went to the store." Take out the "Jimmy and I" and you are left with either "I went to the store" or "Me went to the store." Obviously, "I went to the store" is correct. You would not say, "Me went to the store." Therefore, in this example, the proper usage would be, "Jimmy and I went to the store."

But if the sentence was, "She is coming with Jimmy and me." Take out the "Jimmy and me" and you are left with either "She is coming with I" or "She is coming with me." In this case, "She is coming with me" is correct. Therefore, in this example, "She is coming with Jimmy and me" would be the correct usage.

It depends upon the context. If you want to say that Robert and you did something, you say "Robert and I did something." In such a case, "Robert and I" is the subject of the sentence. If you want to say that something happened to Robert and you, you say "Something happened to Robert and me." In that case, "Robert and me" is the object of the preposition "to".

The easy way to know which one to use is to try the sentence without "Robert" and see whether it sounds right. For example, you wouldn't say "Me went to the store", so you wouldn't say "Robert and me went to the store." You wouldn't say "The ceiling fell in on I", so you wouldn't say "The ceiling fell in on Robert and I."

The noun phrase 'Linda and me' is the objective form, it must be used as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Example: "Bruce gave the gift to Linda and me."

The noun phrase is functioning as the object of the preposition 'to'.
